length is 4x and width is x: 4x*x = 80 4x2 = 80 Divide both sides by 4: x2 = 20 Square root both sides: x = 4.472135955
Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. If your question is not answered, please resubmit it, spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals" etc. Also use ^ to indicate powers (x^2) or x-squared.Restate the question: What are the intercepts of the line -4x + y = 8?To find the y-intercept, let x=0: -4(0)+y=8 y=8To find the x-intercept, let y=0: -4x+(0)=8 -4x=8 -4x/(-4)=8/(-4) x=-2With a little practice, and if the numbers are 'nice', you can almost do this by just looking at the equation, or you can think of (0,_),(_,0). My students call this "googly eyes"!Also note that most texts define an intercept as a number ("the y-intercept is 8"), but it is rare to consider "The y-intercept is (0,8)." to be correct.
solutions are the well solution to the problem. X-intercepts are wherever a graph cross the x axis, which are hte solutions when you have to find out what x is, zeros are pretty much the same thing although i think that include y-intercepts as well..... not sure. and roots are the same thing as x-intercepts. so they are all more or less the same thing
(1,-36); -5 and 7y = x2-2x-35; f(x) = ax2+bx+cvertex, method 1:There is a formula for the vertex, if you can remember it. (h,k) = [-b/2a, f(-b/2a)].-b/2a = 2/2x1 = 2/2 = 1. f(1) = 12-2x1-35 =1-2-35 = -36. The vertex is (1,-36).vertex, method 2:Otherwise you complete the square to convert to the vertex form, y = a(x-h)2 + k. Complete the square for x2-2x: the constant term will be (-2/2)2 = (-1)2 = 1.y = (x2-2x+1)-1-35 = (x-1)2 -36 ==> The vertex is (h,k) = (1,-36).x-intercepts, method 1:To find the x-intercepts, let y=0: 0 = x2-2x-35 (x-7)(x+5) = 0 x-7=0 or x+5=0 x=7 or x=-5. The intercepts are -5 and 7.x-intercepts, method 2:There is also a nice trick to find the intercepts: 36 = 62. the intercepts are 1+/- 6 = 7 and -5.
